134 Bay Shoreline
Wangan is a place name, and its full name is the Metropolitan Expressway Wangan Line, which is the most famous street racing venue in Japan because of its wide three-lane road surface and long straight line, and the addition of the Tokyo Port Tunnel.
This kind of fame is not the meaning that is only spread in underground circles in China, but it has reached a national level, and basically a young Japanese person has heard of the Wangan route.
Of course, the reason for such a large-scale spread is due to a manga called "Wangan MIDNIGHT", which can basically be ranked with "Initial D".
It's just that in the whole of Asia, especially in China, the influence of "Wangan MIDNIGHT" is far less than that of "Initial D", so many Chinese people don't know that there is such a comic.
To be honest, even though Zhang Yifei has always had a lukewarm attitude towards underground racing, he is still very curious about Wangan.
Because Wangan's status in Japan is no longer just on the streets, many active or retired professional drivers have the experience of running Wangan, which can be regarded as the spirit of Japanese street car culture, and it is no exaggeration to say that it has influenced the underground racing culture of the whole of Asia.
"Did you run across the shore?"
"I ran through, it can be said that there are masters in it, I am not very good on the street, and I haven't even entered the top ten."
Xie Tianchen didn't hide it, after all, he lost to Zhang Yifei in the strongest mountain road, and there were too many strong riders in the bay shore itself, so there was no need to be embarrassed.
Hearing this, Zhang Yifei was not surprised, he didn't know what masters there were in the bay coast in this era, but twenty years later, the Tokyo capital was high, according to what he had heard, there were professional drivers of various different racing types such as Le Mans P3, Japanese Super GT, Malaysian Touring Car, and Dalal Rally.
There are even rumors that European F3000 formula drivers have also run high in the capital.
Of course, there is no way to confirm these things, because whether it is the bay shoreline or the high capital, it is seriously an illegal drag racing underground.
Whether or not professional players participate is a personal choice, but they will never publicize it with great fanfare, and if they are caught by the police, the revocation of the racing license is even more of a bloody matter, so before the professional players are caught, this is all rumor.
"Then let's go check it out, I'm curious too."
After Zhang Yifei finished speaking, he opened the door of the co-pilot of the GTR and sat down.
Xie Tiancheng drove the GTR and drove towards the legendary bay shoreline, the night view of Tokyo outside the window can be described as brilliantly lit, Zhang Yifei came to Japan for more than half a month, and he really never entered the bustling port of Tokyo, enjoying this world-class night view.
Suddenly, for a moment, Zhang Yifei had the illusion that he was not in 1999, but in a more prosperous 2018.
"How was this time in the Toyota Academy, I heard that you joined the Toyota Academy team directly?"
"Asked Lu Jingning again?"
Xie Tiancheng didn't answer, but his face was slightly embarrassed, and he did ask Lu Ningning. It's just that this matter has been ridiculed by Zhang Yifei once, and he is embarrassed to say it again.
"No, you kid will ask me directly next time you have something, why do you always go around in such a big circle?"
"If I say I will meet you again, will I believe you?"
"I believe you ......"
"Don't say it, I have a girlfriend!"
Xie Tiancheng interrupted Zhang Yifei with his backhand, and then said that he really wanted to carry the black cauldron of tailing the idiot.
Looking at Xie Tiancheng's black lines and innocent expression, Zhang Yifei really believed that it was a chance encounter. Of course, the more important thing is the sentence that has a girlfriend, based on Zhang Yifei's character perception of Xie Tiancheng, this kid should not be the kind of person who steps on two boats.
The simplest thing is that every time he meets him in the car, unlike some other street drivers, Xie Tiancheng never carries any glamorous sluts with him, he enjoys pure racing.
"That's right, I joined the Toyota Academy team and I've been training in formula mode all this time."
"To be honest, I've always been a little curious, why did you choose the equation?"
"It's challenging because other types of cars aren't difficult for me."
"Damn, if someone else told me that, I would definitely think that this guy is too good at blowing water, but you say that, I really believe it!"
Xie Tiancheng said hatefully, he was a little jealous of Zhang Yifei, this kid, the street is strong, the kart didn't run for long, he was signed by the formula team, could it be that there is really a racing genius in this world, and it is this guy?
"Don't always talk about me, what about you, how long will it take to get into the profession?"
Zhang Yifei asked rhetorically.
"I was recommended by my master to try out the ARTA team, which was formed by Japanese F1 predecessor Akuri Suzuki, and I was sponsored by Honda to enter the all-Japan GT race with the NSX factory car."
Akuri Suzuki? Zhang Yifei has also heard of this name, he is known as Japan's "Schumacher", not that his F1 results are amazing, but this guy is the most successful F1 driver in Japan, and he is also the first Japanese to reach the podium of the Formula 1 Grand Prix.
This guy's most famous achievement may be in 06, with his prestige, he got the technical support of the Honda team and established an F1 team named after himself - Super Ajuri.
Before Zhang Yifei Toyota Academy, Takama Sato, who set a track record, will be the No. 1 driver of Super Ajuri in the future.
The drivers in this team are all Japanese F1 drivers, and it can be regarded as creating a history, the first F1 team without European drivers, a purely Asian team, caused quite a stir at the time.
It's just a pity that the strength of Japanese drivers is considered to be the top in Asia, but it is still much worse in the world, and in the end, the team did not achieve good results and lack of funds, so it was disbanded in two years.
It can be said that Ajuri Suzuki is a figure of the level of Lu Ningping in China, and even surpassed Lu Ningping and reached the level of "godfather".
"Yes, the team has a strong background, run well, don't lose the face of the Chinese drivers."
"You too!"
Xie Tiancheng gritted his teeth and replied, this kid has been weird recently.
"Don't worry, I'm the god of the Seven Star Mountain Bike, the rookie king of Guangdong Province, and the strongest man in underground racing, so I won't be ashamed."
"Please don't blow it, I don't know that I really think you're a car god."
"Hahahaha......"
It may be that for most of the month, Zhang Yifei has lived a training career that can be called "autistic" in an unfamiliar environment, and finally met an acquaintance, so he talked a little more.
Unconsciously, the GTR drove to the shoreline of the capital's Gaowan, and it was at this time that Zhang Yifei heard the roaring sound of the engine coming from behind.
"Someone approached you for a challenge, did you take it?"
In a place like the bay shoreline, there is no so-called starting line, and whether you can run or not depends entirely on fate.
That is, the state of the start of the race, that is, when you feel that there is a car behind you, you can start at any time.
And the rules are not the usual street Sprint model, that is, whoever reaches the finish line first wins. The shoreline is more like a mountain road mode, you can start a race at any time, and the car in front throws off the car behind you, or the car behind overtakes the car in front to win or lose. If there is no winner in the whole lap, then the next lap will continue to run with a swap of places.
The GTR is a very stylish car, and it is also easy to be challenged, so as soon as I got on the shoreline, someone came to the door.
